After the establishment of WTO for strengthening of GATT in 1995, the world economy has gradually been integrating toward economic globalisation. Even though this multilateral agreement may be beneficial to many countries but it also interferes domestic policies of member countries and threatens the role of local government and policy independence. For these reasons, FTA between countries or regions has been increasing. According to this trend, Korea and China has reached a substantial agreement of Korea-China FTA for mutual benefits. In general, the Korean automobile industry will benefit from Korea-China FTA due to its competitiveness in the global market and improvement of market access. However in the provisional schedule of concessions and commitment reported by press, the automobile seems to be excluded in this schedule of concessions. Hence, Korean automobile industry can not use the price competitiveness from tariff elimination. Therefore, Korean automobile industry needs aggressive marketing strategies for enhancement of brand equity as well as development of environment-friendly cars for following environment policies of Chinese government. Furthermore, they should make efforts to create the efficient investment environment by the removal of non-tariff barriers.

목적: 간호전문직 위상정립에 영향을 미치는 간호 이미지에 관해 대학생을 대상으로 그들이 지각하는 간호이미지와 바람직한 간호자질을 조사하여 전문직 간호사로서의 이미지 형성을 위한 기초자료로 제공하기 위함이다. 연구방법: 본 연구는 N.시에 있는 1개 대학교의 간호학생 92명과 일반학생 100명으로 총 192명을 대상으로 설문지를 이용한 서술연구이다. 연구결과: 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 간호 이미지정도를 살펴보면, 비간호학생군(A군)에서는 영화나 TV를 통해서 간호 이미지가 형성된 것보다는 그렇지 않은 경우가 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났고(F=4.81, p=.03), 신문이나 잡지에서는 의사의 보조역할로 비춰진 것이 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 니타났다(F=3.41, p=.01). 반면에 간호학생군(B군)은10%유의수준에서 통계적으로 유의한 결과는 간호사와 간호조무사를 복장이나 행동을 보고 구분할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다(F=2.25, p=.06). 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 간호사 자질정도를 보면, 두 군 모두 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 간호이미지와 간호사 자질간의 상관관계에서는 r=.720(p=.000)으로 높은 순 상관관계를 보임을 알 수 있었다. 간호 이미지에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 예측변인은 간호사 자질로 52% 설명할 수 있었으며, 여기에 영화나 TV를 통해 형성된 경우를 추가하면 54%, 간호학생인 경우를 추가하면 총 56%로 간호 이미지를 설명할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 연구결과를 토대로 다음과 같은 제언을 할 수 있겠다. 1. 간호 대학생들이 긍정적인 간호 이미지를 경험하도록 올바른 윤리와 간호전문성을 정립할 수 있는 교육 프로그램 개발이 필요하다. 2. 간호사 이미지 향상을 위한 대중매체의 활용전략에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

ADL were significantly different according to problem of dietary habits. drinking, unsuitable health care, management groups. Stress were significantly different according to stress and availability and drug abuse. There was a negative correlation between ADL and stress. The findings of this study may be useful in understanding the health status of elderly living alone and developing more specific programs about ADL and stress control. Getting older, with the change in weight and chronic diseases, as the elderly living alone are indisposed with ADL, the applicatiom of physical activity programs and a stress management strategy is required.

Self-administered questionnaire was used that data were collected. The sample consisted of 173 nurses who worked in hemodialysis units located in three different district areas in Korea. Using SPSS/WIN 20.0, t-test, ANOVA and Scheff's analysis were performed. About 98.8% of nurses in dialysis units had received education mostly from dialysis conferences or symposium. The knowledge score for EBP was 15.77 (out of 23) on average. Subjects with more than 8 years of work experience, master degree and those working in tertiary hospital showed significantly higher scores. Despite that there are internationally acknowledge evidence based guidelines for hemodialysis, the actual adherence to guidelines varies by experience, education level and types of hospital.

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major risk factor of mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Streptococcus pneumoniae (colloquially known as pneumococcus) is one of important pathogens of CAP in patients with COPD. Preventive interventions for pneumonia include pneumococcal and influenza vaccinations. A prospective, cohort study has been performed to investigate the protective effects of pneumococcal and influenza vaccinations on the severity of community-acquired pneumonia requring hospital admission in patients with COPD. Seven university-affiliated hospitals in Korea have participated in the study. The aim of this study was to construct an online registration system for the multi-institutional researchers that facilitates efficient collection and management of COPD patient data. This study has presented three basic strategies-accurate data input, convenient data completion, and real-time data management-to supplement the demerits of existing offline clinical study. The proposed online registration system has already been applied to a multi-institutional clinical study and was acknowledged for its high performance.
